Our latest paper is now published in Biogeosciences (Vol. 23, pages 831–850): “Assessment of the Cape Blanc (northwest Africa) upwelling ecosystem response to recent climate change, using wavelet analyses on dinoflagellate cyst export.” This work grew out of a one-year research stay at the University of Bremen, where I had the chance to work side…

Exciting news! I’m delighted to share our new paper, recently published in Marine Micropaleontology (Vol. 204, article 102557): “Fossil remains of ciliates (phylum Ciliophora): a recommendation for their treatment under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants.” Together with an international team of colleagues — Martin J. Head, Kenneth N. Mertens, Pieter…

English “Reconstructing the past helps us better predict what will happen in the future.” The history of the Earth is not written in books, but in layers of rock and sediment. Every stratum that accumulates on the bottom of a lake, a sea or a valley is like a page in a giant diary that…

I had the great pleasure of participating in this workshop filled with inspiring talks and engaging discussions. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet magnificent researchers in my field of study, as well as to expand my network of contacts. View on LinkedIn

The first day of the workshop has been truly inspiring. The workshop has brought together researchers from France, Belgium, the USA, Canada, the UK, and Spain to share knowledge and ideas. We had a series of engaging presentations highlighting recent advances and ongoing challenges about ciliate research. These fascinating marine protists play a key role…

A workshop organized by CIM/UVigo brought together 27 scientists from different countries in the Redeiras building for 4 days. Several sessions of talks, microscopes, fieldwork, debates and discussions, allowed an intense exchange of knowledge and cutting-edge research, the identification of problems and needs, and the establishment of priorities in future research on biodiversity and the…

Happy to announce the International Workshop on Dinoflagellate Cysts which will take place at the Redeiras Building (Berbés, Vigo, Spain) next June 2024. It will bring together around 30 scientists specialised in these microalgae which is a key tool to study past and modern marine systems. https://cim.uvigo.gal/evento/international-workshop-on-dinoflagellate-cysts/

Last May 13, I attended a very interesting seminar on the geological singularities of the Cies Islands. Several renowned scientists explained various aspects of the UNESCO global geopark status. It was exciting and for me, a biologist with limited knowledge of geology, it has been very useful. I have learned much about textures, foliation, diaclasses,…

I was very lucky to visit Vera Pospelova’s lab at the UMN the few last weeks! Giving a seminar is a great opportunity to share your knowledge and experience with other academics. Mine was about past environments during the Lateglacial-Early Holocene transition (ca. 14000-9000 years before the present) in Ría de Arousa: This work allowed…
